Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty, or secondary rhinoplasty, is a corrective nasal surgery performed to address unsatisfactory results from a previous nose job. This procedure helps patients who experience aesthetic concerns, functional problems, or complications after their initial rhinoplasty.

Why Do Patients Seek Revision Rhinoplasty?

Common reasons include:

Aesthetic Issues: Asymmetry, unnatural contours, or an undesired nose shape
Functional Problems: Persistent breathing difficulties or nasal obstruction
Structural Complications: Collapsed bridges, pinched tips, or over-resected cartilage

How is Revision Rhinoplasty Performed?

The surgery involves:

Restructuring nasal anatomy (bone, cartilage, and soft tissue)
Using advanced grafting techniques to rebuild weakened areas
Addressing scar tissue from prior surgeries
Due to altered nasal structures, revision procedures are often more complex than primary rhinoplasty.

Recovery Process

Initial swelling and bruising fade within 2–3 weeks
Final results emerge gradually over 6–12 months
Patients should follow post-operative care instructions carefully

Expected Outcomes

A successful revision rhinoplasty provides:
✔ Improved nasal appearance (natural-looking results)
✔ Better breathing function
✔ Balanced facial harmony
